  1. Leopard Factor on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 1

    The share should increase significantly when Mac OS X Leopard comes out. Just wanted to be the first to say Leopard on Slashdot.

  2. Home user base on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 1

    I know that the corporate penetration of Macs is understandably small, and business PCs are a huge percentage of the total pie. I would like to see some statistics on the U.S. install base for home users. I would venture to guess that the 16% figure is not too far off the mark in the home market.

  3. Re:Editors! Context! on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    You actually deserve to get slammed for this. So he forgot one hyperlink. Type Acid2 in Google. It's the first hit.

  4. Oh no, not again. on Morse Coders Beat SMSers · · Score: 1

    I hope this doesn't set off more vi vs. Morse code debates.

  5. Oh dear. on Hyperthreading Considered Harmful · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess I need to shut off hyperthreading on our app server before the users who can't sort an Excel spreadsheet have a chance to expliot the vulnerability.

  6. Innocent? I think not. on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    An "innocent" deer killed my friend's grandfather. They are a menace and must be stopped.

  7. Maybe an Apple home network device? on Apple's Bonjour Available for Windows · · Score: 1

    If Apple were going to release a set-top box as part of a home entertainment package that needed to network with PCs, maybe this would be part of the installation.

  8. Not in my neighborhood! on Space Elevator Group to Open Nanotube Factory · · Score: 1

    Stop the Williamsburg space elevator!

  9. Gateway screwed up on Dell Might do AMD · · Score: 1

    When they couldn't beat Dell on price, Gateway at least had AMD chips as a way of differentiating themselves. Then they dumped AMD; bad move.

  10. Re:It's not that hard on Scientists Discover What You Are Thinking · · Score: 1

    You forgot in/out. Some geek you are.

  11. Re:Fact??? on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    No, you're wrong. Think Secret's misses are more rare than the hits. And most of the hits are exactly right, usually down to the price.

  12. Second hand knowledge on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 1

    Who are we to debate this? Outside of immediate family, who on this forum has even spoken to a woman?

  13. Re:Geez... on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    Um, the word is "nucular".

  14. Re:Funny... on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    They can also destroy their environment with impunity. Hurrah for communism.

  15. Re:Doomsayers Wrong Again on HP's Crossbar Latch... Next-Gen Transistor? · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Nobody else here understands plants so.... on Plant a Seed, Get Sued? · · Score: 1

    My first summer job at age 14 was de-tasseling corn for two bucks an hour. Not fun.

  17. Re:Except that on Next G5 Multitasks Operating Systems · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, they scaled down the Power4 to make the 970.

  18. Re:Indecision 2004 on Argument Held in $565 mil Microsoft Patent Case · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. If Microsoft loses, they will have strong legal precedent to go on the attack with their patents, and Linux is in the Microsoft crosshairs. They are currently running full page ads in I.T. industry mags, like Information Week, about the lack of legal indemnification for using Linux. Don't think that SCO is not having a chilling effect on Linux adoption just because they have a ridiculous case. Imagine what MS could do. IBM is the only hope, as they could retaliate against MS with patents of their own they feel MS is violating.

  19. Re:this is BAD in my opinion on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    True, but that doesn't take away from the fact they were key contributors to making Firefox possible. Anyway, the goal here is to have an open, cross-platform, standards-compliant browser and to keep Microsoft from owning the internet. I fail to see how another popular gecko-based browser would detract from that objective.

  20. Re:this is BAD in my opinion on Netscape Reborn? · · Score: 1

    And they could say fuck you, as there would be no Mozilla without Netscape/AOL's investment in the project during it's more important stages in development. Most of the developers who completed Moz 1.0 worked for Netscape.

  21. Re:Can someone confirm a few things? on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    No, it's not faster than Safari, but it is fast enough and renders far more sites properly.

  22. Re:Count down traffic lights are a really bad idea on China's Superior Technologies · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. I lived in Moscow for awhile, and the cars are generally at full speed the instant the light turns green. Very dangerous for pedestrians.

  23. Re:Now, let's all have a big Slashdot group hug on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Why mirror the popular vote in the electoral college? You're just rounding off some decimal points from the popular vote. What's the advantage of this over one man, one vote?

  24. UW correction, Taco on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 1

    UW is the University of Wisconsin in some of our books....

  25. Re:I hate to say it. on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    I agree. The problem is the cube wasn't a low-priced box. Wasn't it like $1,700? I agree that a $800 headless box with these specs would sell like hotcakes before the low-carb craze.
